Remembering Master Duan and Duan Zhang’s coming over for dinner in the evening, Duan Haofang came back very early today. Chang Wei and Chang Fu came back as soon as they went to bed after nap. The second sister was sitting in the room and let Hong Hua and Qing Luo take care of him. Find out the "diapers" used by Changwei and Changfu when they were young, and tidy them up. If there are any that can't be used anymore, just prepare new ones from now on. There are more than six or seven in her stomach. Yue is about to come out, instead of rushing to prepare things at that time, it is better to prepare while her belly is still small.
When Duan Haofang entered the door, he saw Mother Zhang playing with Changwei and Changfu in the yard. Master Wu was lying on a small bamboo bed while shaking the fan while watching the two children. Seeing him coming back, the old man raised his fan and laughed. He bent down and was about to bow. When the two young men saw him bend down and thought he was going to play with the two of them, they yelled and rushed over. The two children were six years old and seven years old, and they were eating with a little calf. He was so strong that he almost hit the ground with such a collision. The second sister heard the sound of him coming back and looked through the window. She was smiling and saw that the two little ones nearly knocked Duan Haofang down, and immediately shouted with a grimace: "Changwei! Didn't you say that this is not allowed?"
Duan Haofang was in a cold sweat when he almost knocked the child down. He held the two children in both hands to protect them. As soon as they stood firm, he heard the second sister's words, and made a grimace at the two children: "Are you scolded?" "
Chang Wei knew that he was the eldest brother, and the second sister never called him because he had to control his younger brother. He put out his tongue and took Changfu's hand and turned to the second sister. Master Wu was still lying on the couch and shook his fan. He wanted to see how the second sister usually took care of the children. He turned to look at Duan Haofang, and didn't care when he saw him, just watched the two brothers walk down with their heads down. At the door of the house, the second sister had come out of the inner room, standing at the door of the outer room, waiting for them.
When the two younger sisters stood in front of the second sister, she pressed her fingers on her forehead and said with a calm face: "Changwei, Changfu, you have done something wrong, admit your mistake or punished?"
Changfu looked at Changwei, and Changwei bravely stepped forward and raised his head and asked: "Mother, is it punished less for admitting mistakes?"
The second sister nodded, Changwei glanced at Changfu, and the two nodded together and said: "We admit our mistakes!" The second sister nodded calmly, patted their shoulders and said, "Okay, I accept your mistake."
This was new. Master Wu stood up and looked at him. He saw Changwei pulling Changfu and running back to Duan Haofang. He said loudly to him: "Father! Changwei and Changfu admit their mistakes to you! We shouldn't hit you!"
Duan Haofang also slapped the two seriously on the shoulders and said, "I accept."
The two people laughed, turned around and ran back to ask the second sister: "Mother! We confessed wrong! What is the punishment?"
The second sister held her chin and thought for a while and said, "Punish you to learn how to frog jump, ten times, and then find five bugs for me."
The two young men cheered and scrambled to squat in the yard with their hands on the ground to learn frog jumping. Duan Haofang squatted aside to help them clap their hands and check the count. Chang Wei blushed and jumped again. Seeing that he had jumped a lot, Changfu continued to jump. The two of them compared until they couldn't jump, and then stopped. When they finished the dance, Duan Haofang applauded for them, and the second sister laughed. The two small blushes were sweaty but looked around with a smile. When they saw Master Wu, Master Wu quickly applauded and praised.
Then the two little ones went over the stones to catch the bugs.
Master Wu pointed at the second sister and laughed speechlessly: "Where did you get these ghost ideas! Punish them for catching bugs? Is this a punishment? You see them happy!"
The second sister said triumphantly: "I said that punishment is punishment. Anyway, it's good for them to run and move." Master Wu looked at Duan Haofang again, and said strangely: "Don't you say anything to her? She taught me like that. Is it a child?" Duan Haofang smiled, "Second sister takes a child with her. She always said that she can't keep the child in custody, so it will be broken up. I think so too. It's better for boys to run and jump."
Master Wu got up from the couch, shook his fan and entered the room. When he walked past the second sister, he looked at her twice and smiled: "Your mother didn't dare to teach your brother like that!" He hit the second sister with a fan.
The second sister asked Honghua to clean up the boxes that came out of the house. Qingluo went to the yard and looked at the two children with Mama Zhang. She and Duan Haofang went into the house to wait for him to change clothes. When only two of them were in the house. , She said: "The dishes for the evening are all ready, you change your clothes in a while, and let people put the table on my side, and then I will go with you and invite my parents to come over?"
Duan Haofang said: "You can arrange it." He took off his outer clothes. Seeing that the clothes were soaked in sweat, the second sister would not let him change clothes directly, and said: "Wait, I will bring water and wipe it again. Change it." He said he went out with a basin of hot water and came in, wringing a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat on his back, he stood in the room with his back to her and let out a sigh of relief, and said with his head up in enjoyment:" It’s great, my daughter-in-law’s "wife" is kind to me."
The second sister wiped the towel from the back to the front, pressing the towel on his chest and said, "You can wipe the rest yourself, I'll go and see the baby." She turned to leave, he stretched out his hand and hugged it up with a smile, and she was twisting the waist tenderly. Push the meat away.
Duan Haofang pretended to be bitter and let go of his hand. He didn't get angry when he saw that she fell the curtain and went out. He twisted the "hair" towel and wiped it clean and changed his clothes before coming out.
The second sister came out and asked Mother Zhang and Qingluo to take the children back to the house. Changwei and Changfu grabbed the earthworms, watermelon bugs, and ladybugs in both hands to show her treasures. The second sister counted them seriously and said that they had been punished. Then let Qingluo go to fetch water. She and Mama Zhang should quickly change the dirty clothes on the child, wash their faces and hands, and have a meal together.
When the three of them changed clothes for the two monkey-skinned boys, the second sister said, "Qingluo, you will be with Changwei and Changfu in the house for a while." Qingluo is supposed to be a "widowhood and deprived" person, so don't let it go. She ran to the Duan Zhangshi, so she didn't have to do anything else. Although today, the second sister is not afraid of what Duan Zhangshi will do to her, but this person has no brains. If she said something then it would be too late to plug her mouth now, so it is better not to let Qing Luo go out.
Qing Luo understood in her heart, and after hearing what the second sister said, she smiled: "Then I'll be lazy tonight, but I need more effort from Honghua."
It just so happened that the red flower raised the curtain to come in and asked if he would set the table now, and when he heard it, he went to hit her and laughed: "What's wrong with me again
The second sister told Mother Zhang and Honghua to set up the table and serve food. She went out to invite Master Wu to sit down. After all, this meal today was for Master Duan and Zhang Zhang. They were the guests. After Master Wu was seated, she went to Duan Zhang's house with Duan Haofang.
The couple stood in the back room, and the second sister finally checked if there was anything wrong with Duan Haofang. He stretched on the other side. He looked at her with his head down in front of his chest and said, "I want me to talk about you." You don’t have to come with me, I just go and ask. Don’t forget the doctor said you can’t get out of bed. You’ve been'lying down' in the house for so many days, and it’s okay if you don’t go."
The second sister said: "I know my body, it's okay now, and the doctor said the same. These days I have not done less work, except for not going out of the house and doing little effort, nothing will happen."
Duan Haofang sighed and said something more, she stopped him and said: "I know what you mean. It's just that I'm really wrong this time, and I should go." Before the voice fell, she sighed, her face turned A little sad.
Seeing her doing this, Duan Haofang lifted her chin and said softly: "What does this matter have to do with you? Don't think about it!"
The second sister fell into his arms, put her arms around his waist and buried her face on his chest, gently rubbing and shaking and said: "...San Ye, San Ye." She didn't say anything, she just yelled so quietly. he.
Since he came back, he caught up with the second sister to raise a baby, and Master Wu came before he could raise the baby, and the couple had never had a chance to talk. Duan Haofang knew that she must be scared. For a while, she had been holding back without daring to say anything or asking him. At this moment, it is estimated that she can't help it until he meets Duan Master and Duan Zhangs.
He simply picked up his second sister and sat on the bamboo couch, "touching" her back over and over again, feeling that she was shrinking tightly into his arms, and he couldn't help but quietly said, "Boa, I I don’t believe that this matter is related to you. Don’t think about it. Don’t forget, you still have children in your stomach. Last time the doctor said you can’t bother? Don’t think about it anymore.”
The second sister held him tightly with her arms. She always wanted to find a chance to ask how he found the lotus. It was not necessarily what Mrs. Li said. Lotus herself would not tell him this stupidly. How did he determine that this matter was related to Lotus? Without knowing this, she still can't feel at ease.
What if he guessed it on the basis of Mrs. Li? Fraud? Or someone else saw it? Or was it said by an outsider? She must know this!
The Duan family didn't hold the Duan family in this matter, it was because they looked at the face of the Wu family. But if an outsider knows about this matter, that person will benefit for the time being, and fear that he will have trouble in the future.
It is not someone else who is in trouble, only her! Don't look at Mrs. Li's sale and rumor and talk that killed people, she couldn't let this matter go so simply!
Thinking about it, the second sister raised her head and said in tears: "But I'm always upset... If only a few days, I will let someone visit him and burn him some money. So that he won't blame me for not protecting him. So..."
When she said that, Duan Haofang was also a little drummer, or should I let someone go to see it again and chant the scriptures to burn some money
As he was thinking, the second sister wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "I still want to stop sending some money to Granny Li's house. After all, this matter..." She stammered embarrassedly around the corner of her clothes, "After all, After all, she implicated me. At such an age, I am always uneasy."
Duan Haofang sighed. The woman's house is soft-hearted. Wouldn't it be troublesome to find Mrs. Li's house at this time? When it’s okay, it will be suspicious, but seeing the second sister crying red and pitiful, it’s not against her will, so she comforted her and said, “If you think so, I’ll let someone do it. Don't worry about it, I will do it properly for you." As he said, he stretched his head to look at the sky outside the window and said, "It's not too early, I'll ask my parents to come over."
The second elder sister stood up and tidied up the clothes she had just let her sit on. She said, "When my father and mother come over, I will kowtow to my father and mother in front of my father."
Duan Haofang smiled and said: "You only have to have this heart. Then you can serve your father a cup of tea, and then give your mother a meal or something to live by. I don't want you to be tired." He said, raising his leg to leave. , The second sister held him again and said, "Second Lord, you really don't blame me? Do you really believe me about the lotus?"
Duan Haofang rushed over to invite Master Duan and Duan Zhang. Seeing Master Wu had been sitting in the outhouse for a long time, he turned his head and kissed his second sister fiercely and said, "I believe you! This is done by Lotus alone. Yes! She coaxed the fool to push down the gimmick and smash the child. The fool told me everything, don't think about it anymore! It has nothing to do with you!"
After hearing this, the second sister refused to let him go, and asked: "Then why did she do this?" The fool said it
Duan Haofang stopped at this moment and thought for a while and said, "I guess, she is afraid that the child will not have a way for the fool to survive in the future." When he went back, he saw that Mrs. Li didn't care that the fool was also'his'. The child would be beaten or scolded if he wanted to be beaten, and if he said that he would close the firewood room, he would also see what the clothes and shoes he was wearing when he went to see the fool. When he lived in the lotus house at night, he could see that the child lived with her, but there was nothing good in their house. The tents, quilts and mattresses were all patches, and the shoes were ripped toes. He asked about the child of Lotus, and he could tell from Lotus's mouth that she had raised the fool as her own son. Now the child is still young, and when the child grows up in the future, the fool will naturally be less than that child.
He knew about the second sister sending things there. After all, every time the second sister prepared the things to be sent to him, it was his person who drove the car. He naturally knew what the second sister had sent. It is because he can see that the second sister is not a stingy person, whether it is to the two children or to the family members, she does not button the door, does not spend money like cutting meat, plus he is outside. She had never asked about the shop, or even mentioned it once. Based on these two things, he believed that the second sister would never harm people for money. Whenever he thinks of this, he is particularly thankful that the second sister is a girl from the Wu family. She has never suffered, and has never been short of money, so she will not get into the eyes of money.
He said that he was afraid that the second sister would still take it to heart, so he helped her to sit down and said, "It is her fault that all people are responsible for each other. It is her fault. You should not take it on yourself. It is her intention to harm others, and it has nothing to do with you. "
After talking about this, he went out to invite Master Duan and Duan Zhangshi. Seeing that the second sister was still stunned, he just didn't ask her to go with him, so he could save that Duan Zhangshi would grab this and say something. That night this meal. The meal just doesn't eat well.
The second sister didn't recover until he went out, she was relieved. It turned out that he asked from a fool, and he believed that if a fool would not lie, he believed it. As for why Lotus instructed the fool to kill the child, Duan Haofang said that she immediately understood. Lotus has no children, so it should be planned to treat that stupid child as his own child to raise up to prevent old age, so I am afraid that the good child will take advantage of the stupid child in the future. After all, if they grow up in the future, if there is no accident, the child should be in charge of everything about the stupid child. Duan's family or Duan Haofang will give them things, and the good child will take care of the stupid child. I want that child to die, so that if there is land, money, or something for that stupid child in the future, it will be put under her control.
Wanting to understand this, the second sister let go of the big stone in her heart. She lifted the curtain to get out of the house, and saw Master Wu at the table in the outhouse looking over, and smiled: "Girl, figured it out?"
The second sister narrowed her eyes and poured a cup of tea for Master Wu in the past: "Understood, my heart is also relieved."
Here Duan Haofang was leading Duan Master and Duan Zhangshi in. The second sister hurriedly greeted him and squatted for a sturdy blessing, and then helped Duan Zhangshi to come in and said softly: "Daughter-in-law’s wife’s compensation for the mother, both It’s the daughter-in-law’s fault, and the mother is so tired that she gets angry and hurts her body.” As she said, she slowly knelt down, and before her knees touched the ground, Master Duan was desperately winking at Duan Zhang’s. Duan Zhangshi originally wanted the second sister to kneel, but at this moment he could only help her up reluctantly, and said, "Okay, you don't have to kneel on me."
Master Wu stood up and greeted Master Duan with a laugh, spread his arms and said, "My family! Come and sit down! It was my shameful girl that made you two angry! Waiting for me to beat her for you. Get out of your breath!" He said to the second sister with a grimace, "I can't come to kneel!"
Duan Haofang stood aside and didn't care about anything. The second sister promised to turn around and kneel on Master Duan's side. Master Duan's knees softened, and he grabbed Master Wu's hand and said, "My family! My parents, don't say that! It's all because I didn't live up to it! I, I, I turned around and punish her! Punish her to make up for the second sister!"
When he said that, everyone in the room was stupid except Master Wu.
Duan Zhangshi looked at Master Duan like a monster, what did he say? In front of her in-laws, asked her to pay for the second sister
The second sister was also stunned, and looked at him to see Master Wu. Duan Haofang's eyes narrowed. It's not right. Why did his father see Master Wu so...
He thought about it and went to the second sister's side, but saw Master Wu glance at him with a smile, and lifted up Master Duan with both hands and said, "What is this! How can the elders pay the younger ones? dry!"
Master Duan shook his head desperately: "No! No!"
Now Duan Haofang and the second sister can see that Master Duan must have a handle in Master Wu's hands! Thinking of this second sister's wrong footsteps, she retreated to help Duan Zhangshi, leaving both Master Wu and Master Duan to Duan Haofang.
This is interesting. When did Dad hold Master Duan's handle? The second sister quickly recalled, indeed, since she married, Master Duan has been protecting her. She used to think it was because of the face of the Wu family, but now it seems that it is not only this. She is about to laugh! The recent good things are really one after another!
She even coaxed and begged to settle Duan Zhang's family first. Turning around, she saw Master Wu sitting down with Master Duan's hand. Duan Haofang stood behind holding a pot and pouring wine, and then personally held it to both of them.
Duan Haofang bent his waist low when he was holding the wine to Master Wu. He didn't raise his head. He just said, "It used to be my son-in-law who had eyes and no beads. It's no wonder Mr. Taishan!"
Master Wu took the wine, looked at him and turned around and smiled at Master Duan: "Come on! Family! Let's have a toast!"
